We want our readers to feel our character’s pain, their joy, and everything in between. But one of the quickest ways to sever the reader’s emotional connection is to be overly direct about how our character feels. In this encore episode of Writer Unleashed, we’ll break down 4 ways to evoke an emotional response in readers.

We'll explore

• The biology of emotion.
• How to blast through the reader’s intellect to his most primitive emotions.
• How to avoid emotional cliches.
• The power of juxtaposition.
• The Think Large, Write Small approach to writing for emotional impact.
• How to recreate your character’s experience to transfer emotion directly to your reader.
